A full day mountain bike tour with visits to archaeological sites of Chinchero, Moray and Salineras.

We pick you up from your hotel. It takes about 1 hour in a private vehicle to reach the start of this tour in the village of Chinchero. We will cycle to Archaeological Park of Moray passing the lagoon of Huaypo on the way. We stay there for about 20 minutes to enjoy the beauty of nature and the unusual Inca terraces. The next part of the tour is very attractive because of the rolling hills. Continuing our trip, we arrive at the village of Maras for a tasty picnic lunch. After lunch there is an hour of downhill ride through the Andean countryside to the terraces of salt pans below Maras (with an optional tour) and then further downhill (approximately 40 minutes), arriving in the Sacred Valley (Pichingoto, Tarabamba), where we end our magnificent bike tour at approximately 4:30pm. A transport will be waiting for us there to take us back to your hotel in Cusco.
Total biking time is approximately 6 hours.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The time of biking will depend on the group. The guide can change the place for having lunch according to the physical condition of the group.

Each guide has his own way of leading his groups but always his decisions will be for the benefit of the tourists.

Note that the roads used for biking are gravel and narrow roads.

There is an option of one day extension to visit Machu Picchu – please, let us know if you are interested in that at the moment of making reservation.
